Welcome to the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast, a weekly conversation about mental health,

personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions

of ourselves.

I'm your host, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia.

While I hope you love listening to and learning from the podcast, it is not meant to be a substitute

for a relationship with a licensed mental health professional.

Hey y'all!

Thanks so much for joining me for session 153 of the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast.

Last week, through the generous sponsorship and support of Mad IQ, I was able to have a conversation

with Dr. Oni Blackstock, who is the Assistant Commissioner for the Bureau of HIV AIDS Prevention

and Control for the New York City Health Department.

Dr. Blackstock has spent much of her career advocating for justice in medicine and is always

so amazing at translating medical information so that it's digestible for everyone.

She shared all the facts you need to know about what we currently know about COVID-19, tips

on how to keep you and your loved ones safe, and what vaccine development looks like for

the virus, and how it would work once we have one.

This conversation originally took place on our Facebook page, and it was so good that

I wanted to make sure as many of you heard it as possible.

Thanks you've listened.

Please be sure to share with your circles as well.

Here's our conversation.
